Demon King's Repayment - chapter 172

“Yes, most people in the floating world are afraid of demons. Besides, it’s rare to come into contact with demons.” 

Yuan Xiang, listening to Wu Yuan’s complaints in her mind, put on a smiling face to socialize but was feeling very bitter.

“Is that so? It’s a pity, the purebred humans here work in the demon’s lair, and the income is very high, and the benefits are also very good. The people in our town can get a lot of gold whenever they find a good owner. There is even a fixed rest day every month,” Lu Junshou introduced the situation there casually, and raised his beautiful eyes lightly to look at Yuan Xiang.

“It sounds like it’s really good,” Yuan Xiang didn’t think it was good. No matter how good the treatment was, for her, she was not very willing to become a pet adopted by others.

“The ancient books record the life of the floating world, which is very different from ours. I heard that lanterns are used with flames, so won’t they burn?”

“It seems that there are no penny trees in the floating world. Will the people starve to death because of the lack of food?” Lu Junshou was very curious about the floating world and asked a lot of questions. It was like a dream to him.

Yuan Xiang looked up at the beautiful white branches like ice, “This kind of tree is really amazing. With its existence, human life is much more convenient, why is there no such tree in the floating world?”

“This tree belongs to Chishi. The patron saint of the town, what she gave us humans is not just food,” the young county governor sat under the tree, folded his hands reverently, and worshiped the giant tree in the courtyard.

After he prayed, he turned around and said, “If you have lived in our Chishi Town for a long time, you will be as grateful as I am.” 

The white branches in the sky swayed gently, making a crisp sound, as if responding to what he said.

After being isolated for hundreds of years, even if they had the same ancestors, the lives of the humans in the floating world and the humans there had changed a lot.

Lu Junshou and Yuan Xiang talked with each other for a long time, and they were amazed at the incredibleness of each other’s world. The delicious food, mellow wine, and dreamlike scenery there made the guests and host at the banquet very happy.

“In this way, life in the floating world is not as good as this.” At the end of the banquet, Lu Junshou raised a glass and saluted, “Would Ah Xiang be willing to settle here? 

“Everyone has feelings for their hometown. In my mind, the inner world is beautiful and mysterious, but in the floating world human beings are more free. After I finish my work, I will definitely go back.”

The young county governor sat under the shadow of the white branches, the shade of the tree obscured his handsome appearance. They did not hear his voice for a long time.

Early the next morning, Yuan Xiang resolutely left. Lu Junshou did not insist too much on keeping her, but took Yuan Xiang out of the canyon in person, which made her very relieved.

When leaving the canyon, Yuan Xiang saw the brothers in the crowded crowd on the street, but the older brother just glanced at where she was, turned his head and disappeared into the crowd to leave.

Yuan Xiang went outside the canyon and politely said goodbye to the people who came to see them off. Lu Junshou raised the curtain of the carriage, got out of it, and saluted with a smile, “I think we still have a chance to meet again.” 

Leaving Chishi Town, where humans lived, the road had become more desolate. Except for the occasional demon that haunts the forest, there was nothing else.

The forest was very cold at night, Yuan Xiang slept on Nan He’s warm body as usual.

“Xiao Nan, although there are human beings here, I think they are a little different from me.” She was trapped in his soft hair, looking at the stars in the night sky, “It seems a little lonely thinking about it.”

“I’m with you.”

“Haha, yes, I still have Xiao Nan,” Yuan Xiang rolled over and hugged Nan He’s big fluffy tail.

“Xiao Nan, do you like the floating world or the inner world?”

“The floating world.”

“Why the floating world?”

“Because I met you there.”

Yuan Xiang laughed, she was trapped in the silent cold night and the starry sky, falling asleep in the warm hair.

“Ah Xiang, Ah Xiang!” 

She faintly heard someone calling her. Yuan Xiang opened her eyes and saw a big tree with a purple-red trunk and snow-white soft branches not far away.

The thick roots under the trees protruded above the ground, and Nan He laid prone on those roots, looking up to call to her.

“What’s wrong, Nan He?” Yuan Xiang hurried forward. A strange sweet smell seemed to fill the air.

“Ah Xiang, please help me,” the man’s long silver hair poured out, and in an inappropriate position to keep his gaze, a fluffy tail appeared and swayed gently toward Yuan Xiang’s gaze.

“How… how can I help?” Yuan Xiang felt her throat dry.

“You know, you always like to bully me like this.” Nan He propped up his upper body and whispered softly, “What can I do? Who told me to like you?”

“Ah Xiang, come here.”
